Yep im anxiously awaiting that myself ;DMostly for Narc and Xenophobe ,which is damn near impossible to find in its origional arcade form and very unfavorable to own since Williams sound boards are horrid pieces of hardware that die in record time.
Generally Im not too much a fan of these types of releases since 90% of the time the control is a complete joke on most console controllers, I do own a few of them for the PS and they are great { Namco releases are probably the best out of all of them }
In my PS cabinet they do a pretty decent job of the real deal with the exception of a few games like Sinistar and Spyhunter ,actually just about all of the Williams versions lack decent control but are livable ,the Atari Vector games are almost perfect though
Im actually in the process of wiring a PS2 into the PS cab .. just picked up the connector so its time for surgery when I get a few spare minutes and the drive to get my hands dirty
I think a side bye side A.P.B. comparison may be in order if all of this works out ;DSounds good man, would be damn cool to have a PS2 in a cab
. All the ports (or emulations as I think they actually are) seem pretty good, although some people were saying the sound on MK2/3 is a little more muffled compared to the arcade originals due to memory limitations on the PS2, but it sounds ok to me. I had forgotten how much of a cheap bastard the CPU in MK was though, it's a real pain in the ass
Hard Drivin is cool for the memories if nothing else... I remember playing it in the arcade and on my old Amstrad CPC6128 (in all its black and white glory
) and i used to love it, but obviously now it seems really aweful. It doesn't help that the control on PS2 analogue doesn't work as well as the steering wheel in the arcade version though... but then again I used to play it on the keyboard on the CPC and I was actually really good at it ;DKaz
